Get the GTX 580. Slightly slower than the 5970 in most games, although it should outperform it significantly in FSX.

GTX 590 isn't for sale, and when it is, it will likely be dual GTX 560 which means it will be inferior to the 580 in FSX (FSX only uses 1 GPU). GTX 580 is too power hungry to put two on a single card.

Well I really won't be able to get a computer like that because one I don't have the money being that I'm 13. But I might be able to rebuild my old Dell dimension 2400 pc. It has a Intel Pentium 4 clocked at 2.88 a 80 gb hardrive 768mbs of ram (3/4 of 1 gb). And integrated graphics. What i could do is start to buy new stuff but keep the case. Again need to be cheap any recommendations
